Thread: Believing you will not have a lucid dream, results in one? Possibly new technique?

Interesting, I read the same thing not too long ago but never tried it, the theory sounds good though:-

A non-regular lucid dreamer isn't going to 100% believe "I will have a lucid dream"
But a non regular dreamer can 100% believe "I will not have a lucid dream"
And as the theory goes, negations don't work with mantras, so the 'not' doesnt get picked up by the subconscious.

So.. the 100% believed to work mantra-"I will not have a lucid dream" becomes the 100% believed mantra-"I will not have a lucid dream"

I will try this out also and post my findings.

Great that you are interested in trying out this method and sharing them. I'd really like to see others trying out this technique and see how they experience it. Right now I need to focus mostly on improving my recall considering it's very unstable, but I will eventually try out this technique and share my results as well. Glad to hear that others find this way of achieving lucid dreams something interesting.

Anyone are welcome to share their experiences using this method. I'd really like to see more people trying this out.
